How to Avoid the Holiday Hangover |  | |
Will holiday spending leave consumers budgets in the red? Not necessarily, if consumers use the American Bankers Association Education Foundation's holiday spending tips as a guide. Consumers spreading holiday cheer should keep in mind that January bills are only weeks away, explains bank president Mark Griffin. Simple planning could be the cure-all for the dreaded holiday hangover and help to keep the debt of Christmas at bay.
To help consumers spend within their means and have a financially happy New Year, Windsor Federal Savings offers the following tips:
*Develop a budget. Before you start your holiday shopping, develop a realistic holiday budget. Be as detailed as possible and include items like postage, gift wrap, greeting cards, decorations, food, travel expenses and charitable contributions.
*Make a list and check it twice. Keep your gift list limited to family and close friends, noting how much you want to spend on each. Be creative and send greeting cards or handwritten letters of appreciation to those outside of your list.
*Shop for bargains. Avoid shopping while rushed or under pressure which can lead to overspending. Always comparison shop and re-evaluate your purchase to make sure that it is within your budget.
*Use credit wisely. Limit using credit for holiday spending. If you must use credit, use only one card, preferably the one with the lowest interest rate. It s a good idea to pick a date to pay off your holiday credit card bills. Remember to review statements carefully for unauthorized charges.
We at Windsor Federal Savings are committed to helping our customers save for the future and are here to help you meet your financial goals. For additional holiday spending tips visit the Smart Holiday Spending Center at www.abaef.com.

Steven Yanofsky, V.P. of Finance at Seabury, Named CFO of the Year |  | |
In other Seabury news...
Steven Yanofsky, V.P. of Finance (CFO) at Seabury, a Life Care community in Bloomfield, CT, was named the CFO of the year in the category of Small Private Company by the Hartford Business Journal. He earned his B.A. in Mathematics and his MBA at the University of Maine. He obtained his certification as an Aging Services Professional from the University of North Texas. Mr. Yanofsky was appointed to his position at Seabury in 1992, when the community opened, and at that time he set up all the components of the accounting department. He now is responsible for the financial stability of four corporations at Seabury.
When asked by the Hartford Business Journal what are the top challenges you face in your role as CFO, Steve said:
"In this tough economy, obviously our number one challenge is to work toward continuing the financial viability of Seabury. Church Home of Hartford, Inc, our parent corporation, has been in business since 1876, and has always provided quality services and care. Historically, they have been financially sound. That legacy must be preserved by prudent financial stewardship. Equally important is to secure financial strength by responding to the changing needs of our residents. The key to our business is to maintain high occupancy. Seabury does this very well and maintains a significant wait list. Responding to our residents' concerns is the force behind our high occupancy rate."
Please join Seabury in congratulating Steven Yanofsky, 2009 CFO of the year on this outstanding achievement.
